• Deep experience with Three.js, React Three Fiber, or other web-based 3D libraries, including performance profiling and optimization
• Experience in UI/UX design collaboration and tools like Figma, you can speak the language of design and advocate for engineering constraints
• Practical space industry experience
• Strong collaboration and communication skills
